4. Use the controls to complete the configuration, as described in the following table.

Control

Description

Server Settings

Server Policy. Select one of the following options from the drop-down list to configure
the default policy for NFS servers:

Global Read-Write. Specifies a policy that provides a trade-off of performance for

data consistency. All of the data can be accessed from any client, including LAN based

NFS clients (which do not go through the HP EFS WAN Accelerators) and clients

using other file protocols like CIFS. This option severely restricts the optimizations

that can be applied without introducing consistency problems. This is the default

configuration.

Custom. Enables you to turn on or off the root squash feature for NFS volumes from

this server.

Home Directory. All accesses to each directory are by a single user. This policy allows

aggressive caching of data and metadata.

Apply. Click Apply to apply your settings to the running configuration. (Apply your
settings to test a new configuration before saving them permanently.)

options from the drop-down list to configure the default policy for NFS volumes:
